FINANCIAL.

New YORK, Oct. 1S.-[Special Telegram to
the BEE. l-SToCKs-The stock bulls APP
pcarcd more hopeful after securing fair ad-
vances yesterday, but are still very timid
and trade cautiously. Some of the most con-
servatve traders are inclined to the opinion
that there was too much company on the
bear side, the recent decline inducing too
many lght-wasted traders to oversell them
selves, and they deemed it policy to cover and
await further developments before taking an
active hand. A large percentage of shorts
covered yesterday and the effects of their
actions were plainly visible in the sharp de-
crease of business, especially about midday,
when the market became quite dull. The
opening was steady to firm, with advances
extending to y point London bought St
Paul, Reading, Louisville Il Nashville, Erie,
and Lake Shore. Reading led the list and
for an hour was active. The demand for
stocks in the loan crowd was brisk and ia
vorites loaned at u fair premium. The bears
manifested disposition to resist the ad-
vance and the fight made n good trading
market. The reported failure of the
Leipsicer Discountes Gessellchaft at Leip-
sic owing to II defalcation of over ZOO, 900,
caused free selling and declines extending to
TX per cent werlerecorded Northern Pacific
preferred having the lead. The weakness in
the latter was attributable TO the reported
selling out of Oregon Transcontinental and
lack of harmony at the Northern Pacific
meeting to-day. The decline was only tenn
porary. A reaction followed that carried
prices 1SGs4c higher than in the early bulge
St Paul earnings for the second week in
October increased Sll,1,6 and prices ad
vanced l point. The earnings of the rail
roads continued ahead of any of the past
four years except in few cases among the
Granger roads. The gross earnings of II,
roads for the month of September aggregated
&.42, ,621 ,344, against $50, ll3,64S for the CORE
spending month of last year, an increase Of
agO7, 600 or 10 per cent, the increase il
mileag hauing been only per cent
In September of the present yea
the average gross earnings pc

$i92, against $i95 last year and Si54 in 1855
From January to September 30, Ill road

Death of One of Falm outh's Oldest
Citizens.

FALMOUTH, Oct. 3, 1887.
To the Editor Of the Press:
Another of our aged citizens has Just
passed away. A man, whose whole long life
has been so peculiar and remarkable that
more than the brief notice of his death, pub
lished in your paper Of today, seems advisa-
BILE.
Moses Lunt was born in Falmouth, Feb
ruary /, 1906 and died October /, 1887. He
was son Of Daniel, who was son of Ben
jamin. In Daniels family there were four
sons, Elias, Daniel, Moses, and BENJAMIN !;
and four daughters. Deborah. Ann, Mary
and Elthea, all of whom lived to manhood
and womanhood, and all had families, with
the exception of Moses, who never married
They are now all gone to the silent land.
Moses was born, lived and died in the
same house in which his father and grand
father lived and died before him, and, on the
farm which was settled upon by his
great grandfather, who came here from New
bury, Mass. The house stands upon the
banks of ''SQuidragusset Creek" scarcely
third of mile from the Grand Trunk sta
ton, yet Moses never road in the cars of this
or any other railroad. He never was farther
from home than Brunswick, Me-, and never
pdoScQ Il very lew nlSHlSs IL any, away
from home. Henever visiteu a circus, never
attended a Fourth of July celebration, and
this not because he would not have enjoyed
it, but mainly because his generous and self
sacrificing nature impelled him to give up
his own pleasure that his brothers and sis
tiers might profit thereby. He was exceed
ingly generous, and large hearted, preferring
to yield in favor of others, always. His
whole life was quiet, peaceful, unObtrusive.
Not obvious, not obtrusive, but retired
The more desirable
Who shall say that such life is not more
desirable than a life, tormented and harassed
as so very many lives are by the burning
thirst, and desire for wealth or fame? For,
how soon. at the longest,
Earth's highest station ends in Here he lies,
And-'dust to dust-concludes her n0blest song
How truly he might have said, with the great
poet,
Best be the hand divine that gently laid
My heart at rest beneath this humble shed.
He never was sick enough to need the SER
vices of physicisn but once, which was
some seven or eight years ago, when he had
an attack of pneumonia. He could read the
finest print by lamp light, without the aid of
glasses. His death, untimely, at last, caused
by falling from a ladder in his barn some
two weeks ago, was, like his life, calm and
peaceful, being surrounded by relatives and
friends, who deeply mourn the loss Of and
will sadly miss their good and kind old rela-
tive and friend.
Ills funeral services were largely attended
this afternoon by relatives, friends and neigh
bors. Rev. III. c. Mcknight, yastor of the
neutrality-suspicious. church, officiated.
